"These well-wrought poems emerge from the physical garden of today and now. They are like the food of contemporary America in their wide range that satisfies the palate. From painful moments of childhood to silky erotica to delightful bursts of humor, Scott Wiggerman's faith in the power of human love and caring prevails to make 'Vegetables and Other Relationships' a true feast."
--Judith Minty
Excerpt
Birthday
You just called
to say happy birthday
and to remind me
that you're not speaking to me.
Still desire
prickles up my stomach
for no one
doesn't speak to me
like you do.
Professional Reviews
Ric Williams, Austin Chronicle
"Wiggerman's poems are like depth charges shot into the churning seas of the cultural wars: some explode softly and deceptively near the surface; others plunge deep, sending seismic shock waves through complacent souls too long sleeping in the mud of declension; all are well crafted implements of personal and political disruption."
Robert Clark, Houston Poetry Festival Director
"Hats off to Wiggerman, one of Texas' rising literary stars!"
Brett Axel, Poet/Editor
"Scott Wiggerman is an Erica Jong for the 21st century."
